dry, sunny soil
Stems slender, floccose woolly, 5-12 cm. high, surcu-lose, broadly tufted. Heads 5 to 7, in a glomerate, capitate cluster. Involucre 4-5 mm. high, blunt obconical or bell-formed, each head with a linear, very acute bract as high as (or in younger sp^iimens, higher than) the involucre itself z(the uppermost stem leaf). Inner bracts of the involucre white, circular or elliptical in outline. Stolons 1 to 3 cm. long. c*Stem leaves linear to spatulate, acute, woolly, 1.0 to 1.5 cm. long. Basal leaves 5-6 mm. long, 2 mm. broad, with appressed hairs on both sides, green or gray (in dry seasons silvery pubescent) on the upper surface, silvery or white pubescent beneath. The flowering time is the last part of June (4 weeks later than A compestris Rydb., 2 weeks later than A. aprica Green, and 2 weeks earlier than A microphylla Rydberg.) It differs from the last named by its smaller leaves, its shorter stems and stolons. (A microphylla has often 7 cm. long stolons) and its heacycondensed into a capitate, few-flowered cluster. A microphylla has the fertile heads narrowly oblong.
